I sat in a PMs office in a high rise I was moving out, waiting for them to take care of something. I noticed my move-out inspection report (which we were ABOUT to do), oddly already filled, some. "Blinds - dirty, needed cleaning", "Carpet - stains not removed, needed cleaning", about half a dozen items which according to their "costs incurred" ate up most of my deposit. Oddly, since I knew they hadn't been in the apartment recently, even without my consent, because I'd been packing and cleaning. I'd even brought with me receipts for the carpet cleaning etc. PM comes in, grabs some papers and a clipboard from her desk, including the form. "Let's go get started". "Oh, while I was waiting, I apologize, my eyes must have caught that some of the paperwork on your desk was for us, so I looked over at it, and saw it was already filled out for the inspection?" Umm, ahh, stammer, stammer. "Oh, how strange. I must have, uhh, photocopied a previous form without realizing it wasn't empty." Didn't make any sense on any level, but whatever. We started with a new form, and I made sure that none of that BS made its way back on.
